For once, I agree with Lantos with something. Of course I would have been shocked if a holocaust survivor could possible come to any other conclusion.

The House International Relations Committee's top Democrat, Rep. Tom Lantos of California, said Tuesday he was "particularly disgusted by the blind intransigence and utter ingratitude" of Paris, Berlin and Brussels.

Lantos could be saying the exact same thing about his fellow demonrats.

Tom Lantos -- hypocrite, or ally?
To: nickcarraway
Lantos aka Count Dracula is not beneath contempt he works hard for it. Like Clinton he may be beneath reproach , but not contempt.

After all this is over, I'm in favor of the U.S. embarking on the grandest experiment in isolationism in the history of the world.

Why is everyone so shocked at France and Germanys support of maniacal dictatorships?
France fired on and killed US Soldiers en route to get Hitler!
France did all it could to stop the Reagan administration from going after Kadafi after killing hundreds of Us Citizens on TWA.
France supported the genocide in Rwanda in which over one million people were hacked to death.
Follow the Euro. They are unilaterally arming Saddam with nuclear materials with which to build WMDs.
We have been trying to multilaterally get Saddam.
How can it be about the oil if we have been begging the rest of the world to join us?

I am pleasantly surprised by the number of Congressmen who are making these kinds of statements. It can only help Bush and Powell as they try to hammer this thing through the UN to have France and Germany hear noises coming from both sides of the aisle in Congress about tariffs, trade restrictions, "beneath contempt," "second-rate country" and so on. This lets them know that what they are doing is widely seen here as both serious and hostile; and that it will have long-term repercussions.
I think Chirac knows this and doesn't care... seeing a better deal for himself at the end as the head of some pan-European alliance. But I get the sense that what's happening in Germany is Amateur Night at the Foreign Ministry, and that those guys are like kids playing with matches. |

"...Lantos said he was particularly disgusted by the blind intransigence and utter ingratitude" of Paris, Berlin and Brussels. "If it were not for the heroic efforts of America's military, France, Germany and Belgium today would be Soviet socialist republics," Lantos noted. "The failure of these three states to honor their commitments is beneath contempt....""...What do these stupid ingrates think?" demanded the repected Liberal Congressman from California, "That we saved them from tyranny so they could conduct their own affairs as they see fit?"
The Congressman delivered his jerehmiad before a rapt gathering of Golden State third graders attending a workshop called: "How to Put the History of the World on the Bumper-Sticker of A Car".
The workshop is the brainchild of a group of Public School Teachers who want to inspire American students with an appreciation for history, but, at the same time don't want to tax them with a lot of details.
"We have a lot of hope invested in this 'history on a bumper sticker' idea. This visit by Representative Lantos to demonstrate to the chldren how fun bumper-sticker history can really be, certainly gives a great boost to the program," remarked Kay Mfunitob, an official of the National Education Association and founder of Afroshoe, a company that prints African history on basketaball shoes....

OK, OK, let's get down to it.
Let's pretend that the history of American military action and aid has been one of pure sacrifice with no taint of self-interest. Let's pretend that we "saved" Europe from themselves, and from all Evil for no other reason than because we are so Good.
OK. How long do they have to kiss our patootie in gratitude? How long? Forever? For two-hundered years? One-hundred years?
And if they have to kiss our patootie forever, isn't it incumbant upon us to inform future and present recipients of our unselfish aid that they will be expected to kiss our patootie forever if they are saved, liberated and protected by us?
Countries might want to be forwarned about this. Africa might want to look twice at our AIDS contributions. Israel might get worried, should we start demanding that they put our interests before their selfish, parochial interests.
You know, just in the interest of fair play and full disclosure.....

You know with all these Liberals like Lantos and Lefties like Hitchens and Trotkyites like the whole neo-con movement jumping on the bandwagon, there isn't going to be much room for us conservatives anymore.

"Sen. Joseph Biden of Delaware, the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said that if the United States is forced to bypass the alliance, "NATO will quickly atrophy." This came out of a Dimrat's mouth!?
If so, it's the most honorable utterance from that group of morons in memory.

"New York Post's Steve Dunleavy today suggested an economic response: a boycott of all things French and German."
To my great embarrassment, someone at lunch today pointed out that Perrier water was from France (which I already knew, just hadn't focused on). I've purchased my last bottle, although I love drinking it. Jerks...
